One of the greatest endings to a game of football I've ever seen. Absolute chaos and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Scotland have qualified for a World Cup for the first time in my lifetime.
Heroes, every one of them. Over and out.

Exactly this. It shouldn't be the responsibility of part-time lower eague sides to bear the brunt of Premiership teams inability to develop their own players.
Just release them and let them find their level or loan them out to the very clubs you're making them play 6 pointless friendlies against.

So, the bottom 10 teams (of 30) at the end of the league stage of the #SPFL #Challenge Cup are the 10 "invited" B teams. They have offered no competition, but the SPFL clubs have been forced to, effectively, provide training games for the big clubs' youth teams. 1/3

Disappointing to see how commonplace the use of phrases like "fighting aged males" has become.
That phrase isn't used in any other context, and certainly not when describing white British males.
Using "fighting age" instead of "working age" is so obviously part of the fascist 'invasion' rhetoric.

The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.

Genuinely brilliant to see more success for Scottish footballers in the top leagues. Last week or two has seen:
Andy Robertson picking up his second Premier League title.
Lewis Ferguson captaining Bologna to a Coppa Italia.
Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour winning the Scudetto.

Good to see Maitlis doing some proper journalism and actually holding people to account for their rhetoric on this type of thing.
Too often these kind of views (that are not based in any kind of fact) go completely unchecked when spouted by the far right.

Why does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right.
As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.
